Application
Glycerol is used both in sample preparation and gel formation for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Glycerol (5-10%) increases the density of a sample so that the sample will layer at the bottom of a gel’s sample well. Glycerol is also used to aid in casting gradient gels and as a protein stabilizer and storage buffer component.
Other Notes
Component of loading buffer in agarose gel electrophoresis of nucleic acids previously denatured with glyoxal1; Preparation of phage and plasmid DNA, for the storage of pure cultures2
Packaging
1 L in glass bottle
100, 250 mL in glass bottle
